Hi there.

Thanks for being here.  Or there.  And both. 

This website is a free-range, autobiographical archive-in-progress, rather than a business card, but naturally if you’d like to make use of my skills, get in touch.

Everything here describes a little of my somewhat unconventional existence, through my diverse work as a teacher, artist & musician, and my lifelong interest in personal transformation. I’ve devoted my life to creativity – the learning, practice & the teaching of it, the living of it. I began drawing at 4 yrs old, and musicking at 14. In 1990 I began my journey as an independent educator, and for 30+ years have provided a huge range of innovative creative workshops & programs with an arts and well-being focus. I am self-taught in everything I do – I learn from doing, experimenting, observing, analysing, reflecting, and doing anew. 

In 2018, at the age of 53, I learned that Aspergers is a part of my neural mix, and spent the following five years in a research deep-dive. I began this archive in 2021 as a creative response  – a way of looking back over my creative life through the lens of autism. After all, patternmaking is at the core of both autistic and artistic experience. The Too This To Be That section contains a series of articles I wrote specifically reflecting on Aspergers / autism.
